How many days a week do you lift?

[jbradley2093]

I am currently lifting 4 days a week, on MT-TF with W and Sat/Sun off. I do Chest/Tri's then Back/Bi's then Legs / Shoulders on a continous rotation. So I do Chest / Tri's monday then Friday one week, but only once on tuesday the next week.

I figure my muscles don't know what day of the week it is. Do you think this is enough rest time? I basically have AT LEAST 3 days off for each muscle group.

BTW i'm in week 3 of Prop/Tren/Winny right now

2 on 1 off 2 on 1 off etc etc

I figured I had enough rest time, but I just read an article about all the old timers like Metzner only lifing 3 days a week, and getting much better results than 5-6 days a week.

I will stay with my 2 on, 1 off, 2 on, 2 off routine.

I'm getting old, so 1 day of hard training followed by a day of cardio and ab work gets the job done great for me!

3 days a week. M - W - F. I am trying to develop thickness and have that look of muscle density. So far so good. I broke through a plateau I had for months of training 5 days a week. Strength is up all around.

I try for 5-6 days.

 

[PitBullFootBall]

5 days of weights + 2 days sprinting and plyos

anything less than 5 days and I feel that I am not training that hard .

So , for me AT LEAST 5 days / week , but I shoot to 6 days a weeks 90 % of the time .
